Can you think of a better 3 point shooting Iowa team?

First you have Jok and JoBo.

Then you have this one kid from Bettendorf:

Nicholas Baer from 3-pt range the last 4 games:
4/4
4/5
3/6
2/4
----
13/19 (68.4%)

They shot very similarly from 3 last season.

3pt shooting was not good the last half of B1G. Gesell, Clemmons not effective, Uthoff in a slump due to in the grill defense.

Key differences is our PG is 3pt specialist and we have two guys with low post moves (pemsl, cook). We had no one you could post up and get a basket last year. Woody was only able to score on putbacks or pick and roll.

Ellingsons leading conference in 3pt %.

Hes a nice 4th option.

Couldn't help but think of what Oglesby was thinking while on the sidelines. If he had Baers' trigger. Baer was not good earlier in the season, but he kept chucking.

good call.

and our offense seems to get a lot of great looks.

hell, every look is a good look for Jok and JoBo

Iowa was 16 of 26 from 3 at Maryland. Went 9 of 19 from 3 at Wisconsin. Currently 11 of 17 from 3 vs. Penn State. TOTALS: 36 of 62 (58.1%)

Wow! Like I sais before, you look good when your making shots! Lets hope they can keep stroking it.
Lets throw a little praise Frans way as well, for keeping the green light on for his guys. Baer was really struggling earlier in the year, and know look.

69-70 was really good with Brown, Vidnovic, Johnson, Calabria, Jensen and McGilmore. Oops, no 3 point line, just 100+ points per game.

 

[HeRKeYHoPeFuL]

2011-12 was better, 2015-16 was better... it just seems better.

 

[Legend12]

2011-12 was better, 2015-16 was better... it just seems better.

And the 1982-1983 team was the best of them all.

ya they made like 40 some all year.

 

[TampaHawkfan]

I don't have the stats but I thought the 96-97 iowa team led the nation.. I know for sure that Kent Mccausland led individually.

But yeah this Iowa team can stroke it.

Wouldn't it be cool if Oglesby was a great shooting coach?

Thanks for confirming your bias in the bolded. These teams are damn near identical except that this year we shot a few more attempts.

Conference games only:
This Year: 144/385....36.3%
Last Year: 133/360....36.9%

 

[dawgs_04]

2011-12 was better, 2015-16 was better... it just seems better.

2011-2012 had way fewer attempts though. Same with the sharp shooting Hawkeye teams from the 90s

 

[twindman]

But the difference this year is we are getting better at the end. The last 10 games we averaged 42% from three. and that includes the 3 losses where we shot 30%,

Not sure what your point is. Your stats are for all 18 regular season B1G games and I was talking about the 2nd half of B1G season, i.e. last 9 games of 2016 B1G when they were slumping. I see around 34% last 9 games and 27% in NCAA tourney 2 games last year 2016.
In earlier post, someone says in 2017 we are 42% over last 10 games, so that is the difference I am talking about.
